    Just finished reading your diary, what a rollercoaster the last few weeks have been.
    Hope you had a wonderful break.

    Sounds like progress is being made. Totally agree about rude tradesmen - there's no need to put up with that.

    You are allowed to have MSE disasters when you're going through a major upheaval - don't stay away though! :smile: The MSE bits are what make it possible to spend the extra £6.5k!

    Absolutely agree - extra spends are inevitable when there's big stuff going on in the background, you just have to write it off, sadly.  Don't be a stranger :)
